Same here. Such fond memories of making my way through this treacherous ocean. Truly felt like a badass conquering the unknown. No clue if this translates to today though..

I’m playing the GCN classics version right now and can’t believe how well the game has aged. It’s also a
reminder how much Breath of the Wild borrowed from Wind Waker.

It runs and looks great on PC.

I just played the GCN Switch version and it was great but I never got to play the HD version and it’s too bad because I couldn’t get myself to commit to all the pictograph side quests with a 3-picture limit. Apparently the HD version introduced the selfie feature we have on Breath of the Wild?

Should try a 3 heart run. Makes the combat so much more engaging.

I plan on finally playing this while waiting for the OoT remake, but I got the itch to start a new BG3 campaign so it’s on hold lol

Literally just finished another play through last week. So much fun. I’ve always liked the graphics style.

I never played it when it came out, but every time I have tried since, I have bounced off due to the terrible controls.
